Publisher's summary

She was the first rule I ever broke. She’ll be the last.

In the beginning, there was Savannah Shaw. Teasing me with a mischievous, merciless grin by day. Crawling through my window with tear-stained cheeks by night.

I was ordered to avoid her. Lectured on her misdeeds. Forbidden from seeing her. But my need to protect her was innate. So natural I never questioned it. So visceral I couldn’t fight it.

She was the first rule I ever broke, and it’s why I lost her the first time.

Now, out of nowhere, there is Sav Loveless. World famous frontwoman for The Hometown Heartless, Hollywood’s newest up-and-coming film star, and my daughter’s idol.

Her reputation for trouble precedes her, but the celebrity who sets foot in my small town is no longer a girl in need of protection. She’s a woman who has saved herself, and this time, it’s my life that’s falling apart.

Maintaining the distance between us is imperative, but everything about her pulls at every part of me. My need to touch her clouds my logic. My need to have her, to own her, to love her.

She’ll be the last rule I ever break, but this time, it will be to keep her.

****

Between Never and Forever is an angsty and spicy standalone contemporary romance.

It follows rockstar, single father, small town, and second chance tropes, and has a guaranteed HEA.

One of the best of the year!

This book was everything. The story was true perfection. You couldn't help but love the characters from the start of the book, which begins when they were kids. Savannah's story will bring you to tears. Levi grows into a hot and sexy dad. This book definitely has spice and a strong plot. As for the narrators, they are two of the best in the business. Added plus, it's duet narration!

This one deals with some heavy issues. Read the content warnings!

Really enjoyed this one. The spice was spicing and the love story was great. The twists really surprised me. There is more than one.

The narration was on point. Loved it.

The universe wasn’t through with us

Between Never and Forever- Brit Benson
Narrated by Jacob Morgan and Angelina Rocca

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Narration 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧

I looooooved this book so much! This was my first Brit Benson book and it will definitely not be my last. It was so beautifully written with all the twists and turns coming together at just the right times. I loved getting the backstory first hand with the multiple timelines rather than just getting flashbacks or jumping timelines, it was cohesive starting when the characters were 15, then 18, then 26. Having the timeline set up this way was a great way to see the characters growth.

The narration of this book was absolutely phenomenal. I need to take a moment here and give a standing ovation and a round of applause to Angelina for knocking those vocals out of the freaking park! I’ve never heard an audiobook, even a rockstar romance book, have actual singing in it and this was so good. Angelina you freaking killed it girl! Jacob did an absolutely outstanding job as well. I loved how he was able to portray the massive character growth between 15/18 year old, innocent, church going, good boy Levi to grown af, dirty talking, brat taming Levi. 🫠🫠

As a kid, Levi did everything he could to protect Sav. Unfortunately his parent weren’t as agreeable and there was only so much he could do, so she ended up running away. She eventually started a band and made it big time, but she also got roped into all kinds of substance abuse and addiction. Years later, on a hiatus from the band, she heads back to her hometown to film a movie where none other than Levi built all the sets, and rebuilt the town after a major hurricane. He also now has a 7 3/4 year old who idolizes her. They both have secrets they’re still holding onto from the last time they were together. Will they be able to rekindle that fire, or will it all blow up in their faces?

This book just hit different

5/5⭐️ 3/5🌶️ 5/5🎧
I ADORED THIS BOOK! This is my first Brit Benson book and it won’t be my last. This book stole my heart and then crushed it in the same breath. It was a journey to live through. Unsaid promises, hidden secrets that changed lives, consequences of actions, and just all around bad luck. Fate dealt these two quite a hand, and they’re the definition of star-crossed. But can their undying love and sizzling chemistry overpower fate? Will the time lost be against them or on their side?

This book was literally everything. I suggest going in blind and using audio if you’re into that method of reading by. Jacob Morgan and Angelina Rocca just blew this duet performance out of the water. Sav’s bratty and seductive ways were really enhanced by Angelina’s sultry voice, and Levi was depicted amazingly by Jacob with his sweet but sexy voice. He really brought the golden retriever but Dom in the bedroom energy. Freaking phenomenal.

“The universe was never done with us."

Between Never and Forever was a story of angsty, heartwrenching, emotional deliciousness that will touch your heart and give you all the feels. Levi and Sav are definitely soulmates, but their journey is difficult and painful and full of turmoil. I couldn’t get enough of their story and found myself devouring it all in one day. It was AWESOME especially for an angst loving heart like my own.

Sav has a truly painful past. What she went through broke my heart, but underneath, she had a backbone of steel that allowed her to rise above her upbringing. She got a bit lost along the way, but she was never down for long and I loved her inner strength and determination to do what she needed to to be healthier, mentally and physically, for herself.

Levi had such a huge heart. His love for Save was absolutely beautiful and he would move mountains for anyone that he cared about. I loved how he found the courage to stand up for what he wanted in life and fought for the future that he wanted.

The chemistry and banter between Sav and Levi was absolutely electric. It could be felt through the pages. They looked out for another and loved one another unconditionally even when they hated one another. I know that doesn’t make a lot of sense, but you will understand after you read this amazing book. These two were truly perfect for one another and their connection was unbreakable even through the heartache and pain. I think that actually made them stronger in the end.

The audiobook is told in duet format and is narrated by Jacob Morgan and Angelina Rocca. I always love Jacob Morgan and he was perfection as the serious, possessive Levi. Angelina brought Savannah to life with her raspy voice that made you feel every emotion in the story. There was also a bit of a surprise that I wasn’t expecting in the audio that really made me fall in the love with the story even more than before. Both Jacob and Angelina did a fantastic job and I loved reliving every moment of this wonderful story.

Full of unexpected twists and turns, heartbreaking emotion, sizzling heat, and a love that transcends the distance and time, Between Never and Forever was an all-consuming, breathtakingly emotional roller coaster ride. I highly recommend this beautiful story of second chances, love and healing.

Angst, Twist and Turns with a beautiful HEA.

This story spans literal years with so many connected parts and yet there are surprises around each one. The angst and love Levi and Sav feel for each other was conveyed and at times I was left with the same aggravation the characters must have been feeling. The dialogue was realistic and the word of the day is adorable. Spice level was great, a little possessiveness but not overdone at all. It fit well with the characters and their journey. Angelina Rocca and Jacob Morgan are phenomenal is this, they played well off each other and their voices acted out the different character really well. Angelina was meant to play a rockstar. Also kudos to the production, it sounded like characters were actually together and not in separate rooms.

Oh my heart

Savannah and Levi would never make sense together: he's the son of a pastor, the "good kid". She's from the other side of the universe so to speak. Her mom has a "questionable reputation". She's a "bad girl". But they make sense. He's her safe haven, she's his everything. Until circumstances make her runaway from home. Levi is left heartbroken. Three years pass, and Levi finds Savannah in the most unexpected of places. They weren't supposed to meet again, but here's the Universe having a say. The spark that has always been there is rekindled, turns into a blaze and they reconnect through an even stronger bond... but, alas, again it wasn't their time and they part in bad terms.

Several years pass and now Savannah is the frontwoman of The Hometown Heartless, a world famous famous band that is Levi's daughter's all time favorite. The Universe throws them together again when Savannah is back in their hometown to shoot a movie. Levi tried to hate her. She tried to drug him out of her system. But soulmates will always find their way to each other.

What an epic love story elevated to the nth power by one of the best performances I have heard in quite a while! Angelina Rocca and Jacob Morgan perform this in duet and it's perfection! Angelina portrays the vulnerable and yet so very strong Sav with so much passion and truth. And she sings! Jacob Morgan goes from the quiet, "church boy" teenage Levi to dirty talking 'I know what I want and it's you' Levi and it's oh so very good! You can feel the pain, the passion, the love in their voices. This is what an audiobook experience is all about. A million stars!

"We're endgame."

I’m one of those people who likes to listen to audiobooks mostly after they’ve read the book. Or… I used to be. Between Never and Forever changed all that.

I got choked up a few times while listening to it. Incredible performances by two of the best narrators out there, which came to complement what is, in my opinion, an amazing story of a love that was always meant to be. Even though it might not seem like it.

I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could.

Levi and Sav were childhood friends. Sav had it rough, so much so that Chapter 3 had me in tears—thank you for that, Angelina. I’ll never live that down because, folks, I was at work when that happened! And Levi wanted to be there for her, to protect her, and all that came out so clearly in Jacob’s voice that I got the chills.

She had to skip town, but they met again. It seemed like fate had thrown them a bone, only to split them up again. Now she’s the lead singer of a very famous band, and he’s back in their hometown with his kid. But she has to shoot a movie there.

We’re shown their whole story, and it’s heartbreaking and frustrating to see two people who were made for each other, pining for each other, but who can’t catch a break. Until… now?

The feels! There is so much feeling in Angelina and Jacob’s voices. You hear the longing, the frustration. You hear the love in Levi’s voice, even as kids, and you hear Savannah’s strength, and your heart will break for them both. 

Seeing each other again brings up all the love between them, and you’ll feel it too. I won’t give away any spoilers, but the house, the necklace, the song, and the way his kid brings them together… And chapter 27. Surrender.

Is there an HEA? Yes. And it’s so good, and they're so loving and so hot together. There was never anyone else. Brit Benson, you have a fan in me.

How do I know this is an incredible audiobook? Because Angelina and Jacob are Sav and Levi for me. I don’t think anyone else would do.

Fantastic.
